AN: First off requested by The Impostor and it's going to be a fun ride...don't hunt me down haha XD Second I did some research for this story...yes I looked stuff up for it lol I found out these camps are dark and twisted...So this is going to be an...intense journey for the characters O.o Not sure if everything said here actually happens...but I'm writing it so yeah :P XD

Lucy felt as if her entire world was crumbling right from under her feet. One minute she was standing in her room getting ready for school, and the next she was getting yelled at for who she was. Lucy had made a mistake. She had done this to herself, but above all she let her father down. He was a highly religious man, and he wanted her to follow their faith until she died, but none of that happened because she finally told him about her true feelings. She had gotten the courage to talk to him about how she realized she loved girls and not men. Things had gone downhill from there. She was forced into a conversion camp, and one that didn't treat people well. She would soon find out love was a thing to fight for, but sadly nothing is fair in love and war.

…...

Lucy set about getting ready for school. She threw on her favorite blue tank top and a pair of shorts. She stretched and heard her phone buzz. She picked it up and smiled. Her best friend Levy had texted her about how she was going on a date. Lucy sighed. Levy was so happy about going out with Gajeel, but Lucy was still single. It was harder for her though. She didn't like boys like that. She would rather spend her nights with a girl. Lucy put her phone in her pocket and exited her room. She trudged down the stairs where her father was standing by the door. He had his arms crossed and had a scowl on his face. Lucy gulped. Nothing good ever happened when he looked like that. She picked her book bag up and stood a few feet from him. She was always driven to school by someone hired by her father. She didn't see him though. Another bad sign. Jude pushed himself off the wall and got closer to Lucy.

"Lucy?"

"Yes father?"

"Got a minute?"

"Of course father." Lucy wrung her hands together and waited patiently. She was afraid.

"Your driver told me that you were kissed by a girl. Care to explain?"

"It was just a kiss on the cheek."

"Why would you allow that to happen? We do not accept that kind of thing."

"We're just friends."

"Now you and I both know this has happened before." Jude watched Lucy intently. She let out a shaky sigh. It was time to admit what she really thought.

"I like girls."

"You what?"

"I'm a lesbian father. I never have liked men." Lucy held her head high despite the fear coursing through her body at the moment. Jude looked like he had just gotten slapped across the face. A few minutes went by as Lucy waited for his response.

"This is unacceptable. You are not allowed to like other girls Lucy. This is against our religion!"

"But it doesn't matter! I'm not hurting anyone!" Lucy said louder. Tears pricked her eyes and she was ready to explode. Jude was red in the face with anger.

"You are hurting this family! People look up to us Lucy. What will they say when they see that I have a sinner as a daughter?"

"That's all you care about!" Lucy clenched her fists and stomped outside. She jumped in the car and yelled at her driver to take her to school. He fumbled with the keys and quickly drove away from the house. Lucy could see her father talking to someone on his phone. The entire time he had his eyes glaring at her.

…...

Lucy quickly walked up the steps to the school and headed to her class. She saw Levy sitting down and made her way to her. They had been best friends since the third grade and Levy was the only one who knew Lucy's secret. Levy saw the tear stains on Lucy's face and ushered her into her seat.

"What happened?"

"My father knows."

"Oh no..."

"He was so angry! I don't know what to do Levy. I'm scared..." Lucy felt Levy squeeze her hand.

"No matter what happens Lu-chan, I will always be on your side. We can talk about this at lunch." Lucy nodded and gathered her thoughts. She needed to focus on school. She pulled her textbook out and turned to face the teacher. She didn't listen though. Her fear was still nagging her. She knew what happened to kids that came out liking the same gender. You could always tell when they would be taken out of school and never seen again. Something happened to them and Lucy feared she was next. Luckily, she made it through three periods. Lucy thought that maybe she was safe. Maybe her father was going to yell at her and let her be, but she should have known better. They were in the middle of a history lecture when two men walked into the classroom and looked around. Lucy looked at Levy with even more fear than earlier. Levy had her hands over her mouth. One of the men spoke with a loud voice.

"Lucy Heartfilia? Please come with us."

Lucy gathered her things and slowly rose out of her seat. Everyone was staring at her. She hung her head and walked to the door. The men exited before her. Lucy took one last look at her class and saw Levy crying. She turned before her tears fell to the floor. She didn't make it to lunch. She may never see her friends again.

…...

Lucy saw that they were driving out of town. She tapped her fingers on her legs and decided to talk to the men.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Tough Love campgrounds."

"Where is that?"

"That's none of your concern."

"Can I know what the camp is?"

"It's a place for you to get better."

"Get better?" Lucy saw that the men were no longer interested in talking to her so she turned to look out the window. They were in the middle of nowhere. She had never heard of the camp Tough Love, but she knew it wasn't going to be fun. Nothing with tough in the title was fun. She didn't know how long they had been driving, but it was awhile before they stopped. She had dozed off a little and was pulled out of the car. The men stood on either side of her. She looked around and saw a big fence and she could see the people being contained within. They were all women from what she could see, and they all had their eyes on her. The men led her to a building. They stayed outside while she was pushed inside. Lucy saw a large man sitting at a desk. He didn't look happy and he looked strong. Lucy gulped and stopped in front of his desk.

"Lucy Heartfilia?"

"Yes sir?"

"I'm Jiemma, but you are smart. You will call me sir. I suppose you're wondering why you are here?"

"Kind of...sir."

"Well your father wanted you to come here. He told us that you are sick and need to get better."

"But..."

"Liking the same gender is an illness girl."

Lucy held her tongue and nodded. Jiemma smiled evilly.

"Good. Now you can follow the men outside to your quarters. Pray that you never have to talk to me again. Behave and get well. I think you will find Tough Love to be a very loving place." He grinned and waved her away. Lucy was pale and left in a hurry. She found the men waiting for her. They walked her around the camp explaining what everything was. Lucy couldn't focus what with everyone staring at her. Finally, she was dropped off at her quarters. They left her and she walked inside to see about a dozen bunks. A few girls were inside and they gave her a sad smile. One girl walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"So you're the new girl. I'd say welcome, but this place sucks. I'm Cana."

"Lucy..."

"Let me show you your bunk." Cana led Lucy down the rows and stopped at the end. She pointed to the top bunk. "You're up there. Change into your new uniform and meet me outside. I'll introduce you to a few friends."

"Thank you." Lucy murmured quietly. Cana patted her on the back and walked outside. Lucy grabbed her new clothes and put them on. They were a gray shirt and a pair of black shorts. She slipped on her new tennis shoes as well. The uniform was dull and boring. Like the place. Lucy went outside and found Cana talking to a girl with white hair and another girl with red hair. Cana saw her and pulled her over.

"Guys this is Lucy the newbie. Lucy this is Mira and Erza."

"Hi." Mira said. Erza nodded to her.

"Hey."

"Nice to meet you I guess." Lucy said quietly. She felt tired and scared. She had no clue where she was and everything had happened so quickly.

"So how you like camp Tough Love Lucy?" Cana asked with a grim smile. Lucy wrung her hands together again.

"I don't know..."

"You'll hate it." Erza said as she turned on her heels and left. The three girls stared at her. Mira smiled sadly.

"Sorry. Erza...has been here about three months now and she has been through a lot."

"Oh. What do we do here anyway? I mean they just keep saying I'm sick and need to get better."

"So he's still using that one." Cana shook her head. "Well we have group meetings where we talk, activities that are supposed to help us like men, and we even get drugs!"

"Drugs?"

"They think we have mental problems. There is a lot that goes on here. Just hope you never have to find out everything."

"How long have you been here?"

"About a month now and Mira has been here about three weeks now."

"And Erza has been here longer...I wonder what happened."

"A lot. Jiemma hates her and you should be glad she is a friend. Erza is strong and protects everyone. She saved my ass too many times to count." Cana said with a smile. "We should get going. It's almost dinner time and then we have drug time!"

"She can be a little...crazy." Mira said with a small laugh. Lucy followed them and heard yelling. She saw Erza standing in front of a small girl.

"That's Chelia."

They saw a couple men drag Erza away and the small girl was crying. Mira held her and Cana looked pissed.

"What happened?" Lucy asked quickly. Cana shook her head.

"They were picking on Chelia again and Erza stepped in. I told you she protects everyone."

"What is going to happen now?"

"They're throwing her in solitary now."

"Solitary?"

"It's hell." Cana stepped over to Mira and Chelia. Lucy looked around her. There were no smiles. It was quiet except for Chelia's crying. Lucy finally realized that this place was evil and she had to do everything she could to get out. Even if that meant death.
